Three anecdotes

Shang Chengbi's defeat was far from over. He knew that Cardinal Jin was the best among those who took one step to see ten steps, but he always thought that he could go to his No.11 step.

Shang Chengbi has never been defeated since he forced Uncle Wang away at the age of 15. He was defeated in two consecutive strong attacks, and the paranoia and wildness hidden in his bones were released. At the same time, he marched into the army, and he led the troops directly to the north, vowing to fight against Cardinal Jin on the top of Phoenix Mountain.

The coach failed twice. Shang Chengbi put a lot of effort into selecting the commander of the army this time. The northeast point was Wang Yuanchu, who was born in a noble family, and the southeast point was a muddy leg that was beaten step by step. Killing general Yue Liao, two groups of troops, each leading [-] soldiers, armed with Zhang Ji crossbow, thunder train, wind fire canister and other sharp weapons, went all out to kill.Shang Chengbi pointed to the flaming flag fluttering on the main peak, and the order only had ten words, "Permit victory but no defeat, and death is not allowed to live."

Naturally, Wang Yuanchu and Yue Liao didn't want to lose, let alone die, and they didn't think they would escape death. However, those who didn't want to lose lost faster, and those who didn't want to die the less they could find a way out.

From summer to autumn, the land of Wu and Chu has always been rainy, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk. Liang Jun was frustrated twice, and everyone was more careful.Shang Chengbi provided food and weapons to the soldiers this time, and the manpower was sufficient, so it can be said that he was determined to win.But there are too many food and supplies, and it also means too much burden.Climbing and rushing, you should pack lightly, but the more you bring, the more burdensome you will be.

Yue Liao led the captured guides, and attacked Phoenix Mountain from the southeast. The five guides looked at the large number of weapons in their team, and asked them to give up some of them, "The road is difficult, and the soldiers take these stupid Things, how can I go up?"

Shang Chengbi's imperial conquest, the things he brought out were not bad, and he was determined to return the color to Cardinal Jin, and he was not stingy with his subordinates.Because Yue Liao had no background in the army, it was difficult for him to see these good things. How could he give up easily at this moment? Since the guides were all from Chu, he slapped the guide's neck with the blank knife in his hand, "Don't give it to me!" Playing tricks, who doesn't know that Chu's soldiers are only strong with firearms, so if you don't bring these, go up and fill him with gun barrels?"

Yue Liao was born in the bottom class. His father was a blacksmith in the village. His mother died early, so he and a younger sister were left behind. Since childhood, he has worked hard to do his own farm work. I bought two feet of red-tipped rope for my younger sister, and happily sent it to my father's blacksmith's shop, only to find that my father followed my younger sister's wishes to do the beastly thing, and said in a dirty manner, "Who told you? Mother died early, so the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders!"

The cry of his sister and the hideousness of his father ignited his fire and broke his heart. At the age of 13, he picked up the unfinished knife on the stove and stabbed his father to death from the back. The younger sister, who was [-] years old, escaped from the village and joined the army, and she has a bright future by daring to fight.Now, my younger sister has already appointed the young son of Xu Maoyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is waiting for this time to make military achievements before saving some dowry for his younger sister.

The guides looked at Yue Liao's gleaming broadsword with only a blank and dirty umbrella cord, and obediently shut up.

Yue Liao ordered the soldiers to bring all their weapons and hurried up the peak.

In the northeast direction, Wang Yuanchu was also instructing the soldiers to bring their weapons and supplies and go up the mountain carefully.He is the only son of the Marquis of Changxing. He comes from an aristocratic family. He is a true son of Jiaoliang. It stands to reason that he shouldn't follow Shang Chengbi to the battlefield to earn a future. Unfortunately, good fortune tricks people.

Marquis Changxing's wife, Cheng Shi, was the daughter of old Yongchang Bo.However, the old Chang Xinghou passed away in the year Cheng's family passed away. The husband and wife kept their filial piety for three years, and the father's filial piety was just completed, and the old Yongchang Bo passed away again. Another year, filial piety is at the forefront, the young couple has delayed these five years, and no one can say anything.But for some reason, after five years and another five years, the Cheng family still has nothing.When the aunt was an aunt, she naturally loved her niece, but when the aunt became a mother-in-law, she couldn't afford to love her daughter-in-law who had no children.The Marquis of Changxing had already assumed the title of title at this time, resisted the pressure and refused to take concubines, the old lady couldn't hold back her son, but she couldn't say anything because her niece made the Wang family cut off cigarettes, so she had to adopt an heir next to the Wang family, saying yes I am worthy of my mother's family and my husband's family.

Miss Cheng's family was grateful for her husband's affection, so she naturally agreed.The Marquis of Changxing and Uncle Yongchang also wrote a letter together to ask for the conferment of the heir, but God's will tricks people. As soon as the edict for the canonization of the heir was issued, Miss Cheng's family found out that she was pregnant, and she got a boy in one fell swoop.At that time, the adoptive son was only four years old, and the Marquis of Changxing wanted to do something about it. Ms. Cheng was a noble character, and she tried her best to protect the heir, saying that there was no brother without an elder brother, and how could he be willing to have a cousin who loved him so deeply in his previous life? You easily lost your blessings, so you simply took your heir with you, treated him as your own, raised him with your parents, and taught Wang Yuanchu a lesson from an early age. Heroes have suffered so much since ancient times. The glory of Yongchangbo's two houses, the ancestors also relied on their own ability to build the family business under the position of nobility, and the children of the aristocratic family should also inherit the ancestors' aspirations and be self-reliant and self-improving.

With a mother like this, the two sons of Changxing Hou's family are extremely outstanding, and they have won the trust of Shang Chengbi.Today, Changxing Hou's eldest son, Wang Yuan, is stationed in Jing'an, and the second son, Wang Yuanchu, was brought out by Shang Chengbi.

Wang Yuanchu is highly capable, and Yue Liao is strong in combat. Shang Chengbi feels that the two members he sent this time are both fierce generals and well-equipped. Naturally, there will be no problem. Can it compare to the handsome talent selected by oneself with all the power of the country?He kissed him and put on the armor, and asked before going up to the peak, "Is he still sleeping?"

Xiao Shunzi answered tremblingly, "Master Hou still hasn't woken up from the news from earlier."

Shang Chengbi smiled slightly, "Then let him sleep, and when he wakes up, he will find out what is going on, revenge and grudges are all a waste of time! Go up the mountain!"

The Son of Heaven's personal conquest, supported by the Nine Armies, and a crowd of people behind him responded, so it was naturally extremely powerful.Shang Chengbi walked the middle road without encountering any resistance. He sent troops much later than Wang Yuanchu and Yue Liao. He set off after seeing them enter the mountain with his own eyes. The handsome flags of both Yue and Yue are set high, Shang Chengbi is proud of himself, Jin Chonghua, Jin Chonghua, even if you work hard, how many people can you leave behind, this middle road is really empty.

Shang Chengbi was using the Dragon Banner move, with the battle drums brimming, facing the rising sun, he led the way up the mountain. His army seemed to be moving faster than the sun, and it was almost half of the way before noon, so the order was issued. Rest in the ground, avoid the sun and go on your way.

Phoenix Mountain is full of sunshine and rain. Although it is the end of August, the vegetation is still lush, the trees are covered by the trees, the branches are slanted, and the sunlight seeps through the shadows of the trees. It is very cool. The middle road is led by Shang Chengbi himself. Soldiers, there is no shortage of food or drink, everyone is eating dry food and drinking water under the shade of the trees, very comfortable.After eating and drinking enough to nourish his spirit, he followed the emperor to pull down the unsightly golden flame flag above his head. This time, he will gain fame and fortune, so everyone is full of ambitions.Shang Chengbi called the march again, and he was full of energy.

The journey was vigorous, supplies were sufficient, and a great future was in sight. The soldiers walked all afternoon without feeling tired. Watching the sun go down bit by bit, the mountain was already dark because of the many trees, and it was even darker at dusk. It is deep.

Shang Chengbi's military orders were extremely strict, the team was pruned, and no one dared to speak out, but each had a blueprint in his heart, and was planning what reward to ask for. Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew through, and the shade turned into shade.

Shang Chengbi frowned slightly, and thought, no wonder Cardinal Jin likes to play tricks, there is really something spooky in Chuzhong.Although he was conceited, he knew that it was not a child's play for the army to attack. He ordered his left and right to check the terrain, and felt that this place was condescending, so he immediately ordered the troops to garrison there and wait and see what happened.

It is said that when you are on the top of the mountain, you can see the small mountains. Although Shang Chengbi has not reached the top of the mountain, he is still able to look down on the peaks.

He was on the middle road, overlooking the east, and at first he could see the two armies of Yue Liao and Wang Yuanchu walking through the mountains, each in their own way, advancing and retreating at a certain pace.

Suddenly, the southeast army led by Yue Liao suddenly became chaotic. It was dusk again, the forest was dark, and an evil wind was howling from nowhere. I couldn't see anything clearly except for the red lights. Then, I heard the sound of thunder. The sound of the explosion echoed in the mountains, interspersed with howls, which lasted for a long time. Then, a soldier in Shang Chengbi's army screamed: , "It's fire! Fire! The fire of the Chu army burned General Yue's luggage team." Then, the sound of heaven and earth cracking was heard in the entire mountain, Shang Chengbi heard it clearly, there was a sudden earthquake, and there was a roar of fire .

The strong sound comes from the wind and fire tube, and the explosive sound comes from the thunder train. These two are powerful firearms, and their lethality cannot be underestimated. They were originally sharp weapons for attacking the enemy. It has become a suicide weapon.

Shang Chengbi didn't have time to feel sorry for his southeast army, the northeast was a vast expanse of whiteness, and he couldn't see anything.

Shang Chengbi didn't need to hear people exclaim this time. Cardinal Jin's brilliant smile suddenly flashed before his eyes, "The world only sighs that the Qiantang tide on August [-] is a wonder in the world, but they don't know that my hometown There is a mountain peak, which is said to be the bathing place of the phoenix, and every time the tide falls in mid-August, water emerges from the two peaks and submerges the entire canyon, and that is called Kunpeng water hitting three thousand miles, and the group trains to drive one hundred thousand men."

He still remembers that he said to him at that time, "I will accompany you to see it someday." Yes, I can see clearly.

Today, he really saw it, the fire burned in the southeast, and the water flooded the northeast.

"Jin Chonghua!" Shang Chengbi immediately drew Xuanyuan Sword, pointing the long sword at the sky.

Chonghua - Chonghua - Chonghua - Hua -

On the Phoenix Mountain, there were only echoes in circles, and fallen leaves that had been shaken down by his internal force.

When I looked up again, the golden flame flag on the top of the mountain disappeared. Shang Chengbi stood alone on the mountainside with his thousands of troops. Like an army that was burned, flooded, and defeated one by one, the whole army was wiped out without a trace.

He raised his head again. There was no flag, no soldiers, and no Cardinal Jin. He lowered his head, and there were countless creatures crawling under his feet. He held his Xuanyuan Sword and stood alone on the mountainside. He went up and lost the shadow of the chase. I can't find a reason to retreat, no matter how many voices shouting long live in my ears, from beginning to end, I am always alone.

Cardinal Jin, who had won a complete victory, woke up from the hospital bed, and received the military report of the four consecutive wars, just two words, "Cross the river!"

The Xueyiwei hiding on both sides of the river took advantage of Shang Chengbi being trapped in Fenghuang Mountain, drove a warship, loaded with heavy artillery, and crossed the river mightily.Liang Jun, who stayed by the riverside, asked for help from Jingbian King Shang Quhan, who came to personally plead guilty, but there was no news.

Without a leader, Liang Jun, who was alone and helpless, retreated again and again under the strong boats and cannons of the Chu Army, which was full of momentum and momentum, and surrendered the four counties in Jiangbei to the Chu Army.

Shang Yuhan got the news on Phoenix Mountain, led his army to rush down, and asked King Jingbian to blame. King Jingbian fell to his knees, crying out for his innocence, "Your Majesty has asked for help several times, but the emperor has not received it. I have never seen it before, and I think that the road connecting the river and the Central Plains has been cut off by the Chu people. What's more, since the minister received the emperor's edict of guilt, he came here alone to plead guilty, without bringing a single soldier. Even if he wanted to save him, he would There is no way to return to heaven. The minister has no ambitions, and he is loyal to Daliang. The world can learn from it. The people of Chu used this treacherous scheme to separate uncles, nephews, monarchs and ministers."

Shang Chengbi was turned against the army by him, instead of being angry, he smiled, thinking that this person harbored evil intentions, and he and Cardinal Jin were about to fight, so he must not leave this disaster between his elbows and armpits, and he could not be safe, why did he fight against barbarians?He immediately decided to withdraw his troops and return to the north, returning to Jing'an.

Shang Chengbi came grandly and left alone, and the people of Chu land cheered happily.

Young Master Chonghua, who was lingering on the sick bed, was surrounded by guards on the Baxia boat, and he arrived at Jianggan in his sleep.When he woke up, the north side of the river also became his world.

Cardinal Jin slowly sat up, held a lake brush, and drew the two sides of the river.The territory of Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Shuobei, Central Plains, and Daliang was gradually encircled under the tip of his pen. He put down the pen, pressed the old sore on his shoulder, and spit out twelve words at a leisurely pace, "Fujing, Anmin, Tunliang, Garrison, fight again with a plan." Then, he closed his eyes lightly, at that moment, the sun shone through the window lattice, shining on his pale but vigorous face, and the guards led the order to follow orders and prohibitions, and finally lived up to his years of management. , This is the legend of later generations, "The pentagram took pictures of Hunan and Chu, and retreated one hundred thousand soldiers in sleep."
